About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Nitbest Tablet SR, containing Nitrofurantoin 100mg, is an extended-release medication primarily indicated for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections caused by susceptible strains of specific bacteria. This medication works by inhibiting bacterial growth in the urinary tract. It is important to note that Nitbest is not effective against infections affecting other parts of the body. It should be administered orally, once daily, with a full glass of water, at least 2 hours before or after meals. Dosage may vary based on the patient's renal function and response to therapy. Prolonged use may lead to the development of resistant strains of bacteria, necessitating close monitoring of treatment efficacy and potential side effects. Regular medical follow-ups are essential to ensure appropriate and safe use of Nitbest Tablet SR.

About Nitrofurantoin
Nitrofurantoin is an antibiotic used to treat and prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). It works by entering bacterial cells and interfering with their ability to produce proteins, ultimately leading to cell death. Nitrofurantoin is effective against a range of bacteria causing UTIs. Common side effects may include nausea and headache, but these typically resolve over time. In summary, Nitrofurantoin is a key medication for managing urinary infections.
How It Works
Nitrofurantoin inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis and disrupts nucleic acid metabolism, leading to bacterial cell death.
